After months of anticipation, later tonight we’ll finally be able to watch the two presidential frontrunners square off on national television. Despite portraying their candidate as an intellectual juggernaut-and her opponent as nothing short of a gibbering dolt-Clinton surrogates are intent upon working the refs, and the refs seem more than happy to oblige. Whether or not this influences the course of the debate remains to be seen. Expecting professional journalists to fulfill their duties is a bit of an ask, admittedly.
Personally, I think Trump supporters expecting Hillary to publicly humiliate herself are somewhat delusional. Although she’s an historically bad candidate-and arguably the worst Democratic nominee in recent memory-she has spent nearly 2 decades questing after the Oval Office.
The idea that she’ll embarrass herself in a one-on-one format as she stands on the precipice of that goal borders on the absurd. On the other hand, Trump has one ace in the hole, which is the insatiable lust for power which animates his rival.
Mrs. Clinton will do or say anything in order to secure more votes, i.e. inch closer to her ultimate goal, even if doing so reveals her deep mendacity or makes herself appear preposterous.

Clinton is shamelessly corrupt. How did this woman who claimed to be “dead broke” in 2001 come to be worth over $31 million after ten years of “public service”. She’ll sell just about anything for money be it influence, access or policy accommodations. Why not front row seats to the Presidential debates? Wonder how much that immature narcissist, Mark Cuban paid her to sit up in the front row?
That's correct. Hillary is the experienced one. If she doesn't "clean Trump's clock" in the debate, she "loses."
Trump, on the other hand is simpley a reality show star. A product of the media. If he can survive 90 minutes with Hillary, he will come off as the "winner."
The ball is in Hillary's court. The debate is for Hillary to lose.
Of course, I am biased—but in no way do I see Hillary handling the pressure as well as Trump.. he is as cool as a cucumber on tv.. That line about “only Rosie O’Donnell” to Megyn Kelly— had me convinced..
Probably more than courtside tickets at the American Airlines Center.
Some animate blob at the, “ LA Slimes”, penned a propogandistic diatribe about “Trump Lies”, today. And, marijuana isn’t fully legal yet...
Hillary can make it through the debate if everything is perfectly arranged for her and she is carefully medicated beforehand, like they were able to do at the Democrat convention, except for the balloon drop at the end when she weirded out.
But if there were, say, a red spectrum footlight pointing at her eyes and she is not wearing her blue Zeiss lenses, that could cause her to start having a seizure there in the middle of the debate.
All Trump has to do is come off as presidential and win. People want an excuse to vote for him and “ditch the witch”. It’s going to happen.
